Have you used "No Rinse"?
A friend of mine loves this product - No Rinse.
I can imagine it having its uses (like washing in the garage during freezing weather.)
But I wouldn't want to wax after using it without using a clay bar first.
Anyone used this for interim washes?

Can and does work. Most would avoid it if their ride is extremely dirty, but if it's just lightly dirty, this can be a good and effective solution for some.
I use ONR as a clay lube as well as a quick detailer when polishing cars and needing to remove polish dust.

I have used the No Rinse wash (together with the Zaino All In One for waxing) and it works great. Leaves the car nice and shiny and you only use 1 1/2 lids of the No Rinse in a gallon of water. Just measure once and mark your bucket for future uses.

With more and more areas enforcing water restrictions, rinseless washes are becoming increasingly popular. A rinseless wash provides a safe, easy way to wash your car without relying on a free-flowing source of water. In most cases you only need 2-4 gallons to wash your entire car!
Here's a link to an article I wrote last August:
How To: Wash Your Car with 2 Gallons of Water – Pinnacle Style
Performing a rinseless car wash is simple. First, you’ll need a 5 gallon wash bucket with a Grit Guard Insert. This will be your wash bucket. If you don’t wash your car weekly, it would be advised to have a second 5 gallon bucket with a Grit Guard Insert as your rinse bucket. Having a dedicated rinse bucket ensures your wash solution doesn’t get contaminated with large amounts of dirt and grime. You’ll also want to have about half a dozen Gold Plush Jr. Microfiber Towels handy. From our testing, the Gold Plush Jr. Microfiber Towel is the perfect towel for performing a rinseless car wash. Don’t forget about a drying towel – the Cobra Waffle Weave Guzzler is tough to beat.
Pinnacle Liquid Gloss Rinseless Wash with Carnauba is a highly concentrated solution, so you only need to add 1 ounce of solution to 2 gallons of water. I like to use the Pro Blend Bottle Proportioner for accurate measurement.

I couldn't find the one y'all mentioned, but I tried Turtle Wax Rinse Free Wash & Wax. I thought it worked pretty good, and the wax is decent. This is perfect for living in an apartment, where I can't use a hose. I wish I had known about this stuff sooner.

I have been using ONR on my vehicles, if the car is really dirty, I will make up the clay lube solution of ONR and pre spray each panel, allow it to dwell and then use the standrad ONR solution.
I did an ONR wash of my Mustang Sunday morning, I took second place for my vehicle class at a Mustang show that afternoon. The judging was based on cleanliness and attention to the details. I missed first place by fractions of a point because of some water spotting on the right side shock tower in the engine compartment.
